Yes they are quite will known in various sizes.

For me they are still part of history, since they show the briefly worn 41x5x numbers from the then 44th Air Division. As far as I remember, the 131st AR was the only unit wearing its serial numbers that way before the system was changed to 51x5x numbers in yellow.

Actually it is more like there are increasing interest in J10C by foreign air forces.

J10AY/SY/CY of Bayi (August First) team has been regularly touring Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Pakistan, Russia and UAE over the past years, and this year is no difference. Todate these are the only 6 countries that Bayi team have been travelled to.

PLAAF J10C also had joint exercise with Thai Airforce this year, that was also a regular event that have been held for many years in the past.

That‘s the point … how do you define interest?

So far only Pakistan and per some rumours Sudan, … otherwise North Korea (but only for older J-10A) is mentioned, Nigeria (but they only bought 3 JF-17s so far), maybe Thailand due to their expanding connection to CHina …

I’ve heard of Turkey and Saudi Arabia as well but I guess they were just baseless rumours.
I think procurement of another batch by Pakistani airforce may help J-10s in gaining more customers.
